PRINCE OF WALES
TO RECEIVE SOVIET. DIPLOMAT. LONDON, Dec. 17. Following custom since the King’s illness, the Prince of Wales will officially receive the Soviet Ambassador, M. S jkoinkoff, probably at the weekend. Credentials will then be simultaneously exchanged between London and Moscow, thus implementing, among other things, the anti-propa-ganda assurance of the old 1924 Agreement. In connection with Mr Arthur Henderson’s assurance in the House of Commons to-day that it is not a fact that the sanction thereto is being he'd up 'by the Dominions, it is gathered in official quarters that some of the Dominions like the Agreement less than others do, but scarcely to the extent of dissenting. However, the feeling is that they are less concerned than Britain, which is making a risky gamble to regain trade with Russia.
One high-placed official remarked, with a twinkle in his eye : “The question of propaganda will probaby be taken lip next week, hut probably it will go on just as usual.”
